Super Data when Reactivating old Employees

JarrydDDLRecruitment

Hi Guys we are after a bit of advice,

We are a medium sized Labour Hire Company who has workers come and go. We sometimes get staff going back to work from 2-3 years ago looking to be re-employed.

Is there a way for Reckon to notify you or remind you when the Super SGA rate isnt upto date?

There has been a few examples where we have made an inactive employee active again, yet have then paid them super at the year befores rate of 10%.

We are also wondering if there is a report that can show all employees and what percentage of super they are currently set to get? So we can easily notify and change everyone to 11.5%?

Hi @JarrydDDLRecruitment,

Thank you for your query.

Typically, when Reckon hosted is upgraded to a new version, it automatically checks the superannuation rates and notifies you if there's a need to update to the current rate. This ensures that you're using the most accurate and up-to-date super rates immediately after the upgrade.

However, it's important to note that reckon does not have feature to provide ongoing notifications about superannuation rate changes once the upgrade has been completed. In other words, after you've upgraded to the new version, the system won't alert you to any subsequent changes you need to do for each employee.

To be able to check, you can manually double click on employee and select payroll and compensation info and select super details and check.

In regards to report, Payroll Summary report provides earnings categorized by payroll item, including superannuation. You can customize the report to display data for any date range, payroll period, or month.

If you need further assistance or have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Kind regards,

When a data file is upgraded to the newest version, any employees who are inactive will not automatically have the superannaution changed, even if a pop-up appears asking if you want to increase the superannuation. This is very tricky for those of us who hire seasonal workers also. I always check employee information when re-hiring now as many areas could have changed since last hiring (address, name, bank account etc). In fact it would be correct procedure to get the employee to onboard again using their MyGov.
